[PATCH 1/7] modpost: members of *driver structs should not point to __init functions

From: Uwe Kleine-KÃnig
Date: Sat Jan 30 2010 - 15:47:34 EST


Either the functions referred to in a driver struct should live in
.devinit or the driver should be registered using platform_driver_probe
(or equivalent for different driver types) with ->probe being NULL.
